Overall:
Ive been playing guitar for thirty years and this pedal screams 80's Metal, Ratt, Vinnie Vincent Invasion, Dokken and countless others. Over the years ive owned about every distortion pedal on the market and this $25 dollar pedal is as good as any, sound wise. Plastic it is but Metal it screams don't be afraid take a ride into the unknown and release the inner Metal God inside you. It will be the ride of your life!

Sound:
The sounds are incredible, it leaves off where the super metal and the heavy metal are. It has both the mid and high controls with an added mid frequency control that allows you to cut through the mix or make it heavier. The distortion is heavy, in fact so heavy i only put at about 2 o'clock.
Feature:
With all the eq it has, its got the best features in Behringer's distortion range and at this price its hard to beat.
Ease of Use:
Its easy to use but it takes a little bit of tweaking to find your favorite sound(What pedal doens't take tweaking anyways?)
Quality:
It is sturdy as long as you don't stomp on it super hard but why would you do that anyways. It has lasted me a couple gigs now and its still good.
Value:
Best for this price and more.
Manufacturer Support:
Only had to talk with them once (for a Behringer multi fx-600) and they quickly switched it out for a new working pedal.
The Wow Factor:
It adds color to my board so its pretty nice.
Overall:
I expect to be satisfied with it until behringer comes out with another better distortion pedal.

Sound:
i really like it, its the same as the Boss metal zone for way less and it has less his then the boss metal zone!
Feature:
it had nothing that came with it, just the pedal!
Ease of Use:
really easy if you know the osund you want.
Quality:
i have had the ultra metal for about a month and still works, i do worry about the fact that its like 98% plastic!
Value:
for $25 its amazing and the his is lesser then the metal zone
Manufacturer Support:
i have had no issues
The Wow Factor:
could use like a better name like demon distortion!
Overall:
i will keep this as long as it last!

Value:
piece of crap for 30 bucks
